News for Little Giants Preschool

Giant Arts in the Park is a social event you won’t want to miss! At 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 7, come out and enjoy good company, a beautiful setting (the Gardens at Matter Park), and great entertainment from the Marion Community Schools music programs, along with food for sale to benefit the MHS Bands.

Online auction ends tonight

In addition, this event will cap off the Marion High School Alumni Association's online auction, featuring the retired banners from Bill Green Athletic Arena (retired due to age, and replaced with beautiful new banners), along with a list of other items at nearly any price point. (You do not have to be present at this event to bid online.)

Come out and see the Marching Giants' 2017 show, Changing a Nation, for FREE right here at Marion High School! This year's show is inspired by the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

All other opportunities to see this show involve an admission price (either at a home football game or at a marching competition around the state). But every year, the Marching Giants put on a special performance so that the hometown crowd can watch and enjoy the show for free.

We hope to see you at Dick Lootens Stadium at MHS at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26. (The performance will move inside if the weather is bad.)

With the solar eclipse on Monday, Aug. 21, visible here in Marion, some Marion Community Schools teachers are planning related outdoor activities.

If your student's teacher is planning such an activity, you should receive an opt-out form this week, to return by Friday if you do NOT want your student to participate. If you need an additional copy of the form for any reason, click here. If you are not sure whether your student is in a class planning outdoor activities and want more information, please contact your school.
